And moves on to New Orleans grits....

Oliver heartily approves of all parts of the blueberry tart; loves topping, loves the fruit, “me love that mom”.

So it’s in the oven, and I’m moving on to grits + Gouda + cream + being fried. Have mercy. All in the name of peer review and support, peeps.

Evening cooking commences with a blueberry tart

I like the Whole Foods one-day deals for much the same reason I like the farmers market: you can get a lot of something cheaply, in the former case, and that you might not otherwise find, in the latter. Both keep things interesting. For example, today’s deal was organic blueberries for $3 less than usual. So I got 3 gorgeous pints for $6 and then needed a recipe in addition to the blueberry pancakes I promised Oliver in the morning.

As I’m making the New Orleans grits fries from food52 tonight, I thought I’d check there too for a winning blueberry plan. Lots of good options, but I’m going with SmallKitchCara’s Blueberry Tart which has some diced peaches in it, a crumble top, is an excuse to use my round tart pan AND gets rave reviews.

Off to the races…

Friday roundup

1) Oh, Anthony. Was it worth it? I think not.

2) I haven’t emphasized this lately, but a Friday afternoon babysitter is the cat’s meow. O and I had a great day, but I am also extremely happy to be sitting in this pedicure chair.

3) Ira Flato (science Friday on NPR) is obviously very enthusiastic, but his voice drives me bananas. There is no way he’s a hunk.

4) I’m kinda flabbergasted that my darling baby is old enough for minicamp. We went to the meet-the-teacher today, and O was so excited. He said “me go to camp, yay.” Do you want to die??
